摘要 本文调查了法国和国际上治理核事故的历史。尽管核灾难在冷战期间对核能构成了严重威胁，但它们越来越被视为核运行的内在且“可控”事件，这一过程可以被描述为“事故正常化”。本文展示了冷战的结束如何通过基于监管组织的国际共同核安全方法促进正常化，这有助于消除法国和欧洲与核能相关的政治争议。
ABSTRACT This article investigates the history of governing nuclear accidents in France and internationally. While nuclear disasters posed serious threats to nuclear energy during the Cold War, they have been increasingly perceived as intrinsic and ‘manageable’ events of nuclear operations, a process that can be described as ‘the normalisation of accidents’. This article shows how the end of the Cold War facilitated normalisation, through an internationally shared approach to nuclear safety, based on regulatory organisations, which contributed to displacing the political controversy related to nuclear energy in France and Europe.
